A Book Review on A Series of Unfortunate Events By Angela Jester age 11

  • A Series Of Unfortunate Events is a series of 13 books in which three clever orphans use all their skills to battle an evil man named Count Olaf who wants to steal the enormous fortune their parents left behind.Violet,the oldest,is an amazing inventor; Klaus,the only boy, remembers everything he reads. Sunny,the baby,has super sharp teeth.
  • This books are mystery and adventure books. There is much tension and distress.But there is also adventure, mystery, and danger. The children are almost always running away from something. Some people hate these books, some people love them. It depends on your personality. The series is slightly odd and confusing.
  • I would say ages 10-14 year-olds would enjoy these books the most. It is just not the right book for a 5-year-old to enjoy.
  • The author is spectacular. He connects with the reader and tells about his own life throughout the books.
  • If you like danger, mystery, and adventure, you should like this series. I loved them. The books are so thrilling that you can hardly put them down. If you would like to try them out, go to your library website and look under Lemony Snicket or The Bad Beginning.[The first book of the series].I hope this book review will help you decide if these are the right books for you.
